The Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Finance, Mr. Yomi Ogunnusi, has said the All Progressives Congress will win next year’s presidential election if it fields the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal, as its presidential candidate; and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.

Ogunnusi, who represents Ifako/Ijaye Federal constituency at the lower chamber of the National Assembly, said a former Head of State, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari, should not emerge as the party’s presidential candidate but should remain as an elder statesman.

Also, he said a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, should not be involved in political administration but should stay on the sideline and play the “Obafemi Awolowo role as leader of the Yoruba.”

He said this during an interview with our correspondent shortly after presenting his scorecard to his constituents in Lagos, on Sunday.

He said, “In my opinion, Tambuwal should be the presidential candidate of the APC while Amaechi should be the Vice President. Tambuwal is not a tribalist, he knows all of us in the House up to our constituencies.”

I think it will be a good choice.

To my own opimion...The best would either be Tambuwal/Oshiomole...OR...Buhari/Oshiomole...

Poor, poor, foolish Nigerians taking advice from a part of the corrupt establishment on who should be their next President.

Without Buhari on that ballot--- and as President---it's gonna be business as usual and most of you will suffer like never before.

Everything I have warned yall about has come to pass i.e Do not vote GEJ, He will try to become life President by amending/ extending term limits, He is uber corrupt, He will use and frame Henry Okah, U.S will stop buying oil from Nigeria, Oil prices will fall drastically etc

Vote Tambuwal, Fashola, GEJ etc and watch your country go up in flames before fall of 2016.

What your country needs is someone that can go head on with the corrupt elements without fear or favor. These men above can't do it because they have their fingers soiled too.

Do yourselves a favor and vote Buhari or come back here in 2019 and complain about the same things you've been complaining about since 1999.

We need positive change and no more business for some politicians.....

bro hv u taken tym to read abt buhari n its administration as head of state?

hv u read his various manifestoes on d last two elections wich he lost.

pls as long as am concerned GEJ remains d president nigeria hv ever had since past 3½ decades or more ago

GEJ TILL 2015

It is very clear that Jonathan will win the presidential election next year.

What is remaining is the little matter of what margin.

Tambuwal/Amaechi will lose by an embarrassing margin...

APC if u want my Vote;Tambowal/Fashola pls. Remember my vote count

With Buhari as presidential candidate, I will
not only vote but campaign for APC.

BUHARI/fashola/amaechi/oshiomole

Despite his(Mr. Yomi Ogunnusi) long years in politics, he can still utter the kind of statement. Haba! two PDP decampee to represent APC and he expect them to defeat GEJ, am sorry to say he still a learner.

Why not the other way round. amechi/ tambuku

the way all other presidential candidates are coming from the north is rather suspicious.

tot they said zoning was primitive

Of course they will not win. Tambuwal just joined APC how many weeks ago and now he's contesting for the number one sit in the country, it clearly shows he just joined in order to contest. Amaechi on his own side is a disgrace, Am arrogant fellow. They will start failing from even their Party primaries. There's no hope for them.

They can't beat my combo

This is exactly what Dele Momodu's excellent piece is all about, sounding the same note of caution to APC leadership and Nigerians regarding Tambuwal as follows:

(!) "He was my first choice over a year ago but he has become an after-thought to his promoters who ditched him earlier."
(!!) "Those dragging him into the Presidential race at this late hour are doing so purely for selfish reasons."
(!!!) "Even a novice would know that the race ahead is an unusual one that would be fought like a third world war."
(!V) "It requires a well-tested combatant."
(V) "If APC picks Tambuwal, his exit from the PDP is still too recent and clinically fresh that the Federal Government
would have more than enough rope to tie around his neck."
(V!) "I would advise him to pick his Gubernatorial form and wait for another day."

And on why the corrupt Nigerian elite of all tribes, regions and religions are so bent on preventing the emergence of a Buhari presidency come 2015, you echoed exactly the same views as Momodu:


"The Nigerian Mafioso is united in its pathological hatred and/or trepidation for Buhari. Despite the fact that Buhari would have to govern under a different democratic climate, those folks are still scared to their pants about what Buhari’s government portends for members of the privilegentsia. As a matter of fact, this is the veritable source of all smear campaign and fear-mongering against Buhari." - Dele Momodu
